Full Tilt Pays Overdue Licensing Fees

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) announced that Full Tilt Poker has paid overdue licensing fees thus allowing talks to end its suspended license to move forward. Martin Heslop, Full Tilt Poker’s lawyer, justified not paying the fees by saying that the poker room never thought it would have its operating license reinstated by Aldernay.

The AGCC claims Full Tilt Poker’s license is still valid, just suspended. Another hearing is scheduled for no later than Sept. 15th. No money is being sent to players as of yet and there are supposedly still talks ongoing for a European investment group to but the online poker company.

Full Tilt Poker has recently applied to become a part of the Steam online gaming platform. This platform helps to put out games for online and computer-based play (as well as play through smart televisions), and it could lead to some pretty interesting situations if they're able to get included. We haven't really heard of any online gambling site trying to get in on a gaming network like this before, so it's really a new development in every sense of the word.
How Steam Works

On April 15, 2011, an event happened in the online poker world that's been dubbed Black Friday. This event had to do with US federal indictments against a number of the top online poker rooms in the world including PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. The Rational Group, owner of PokerStars, made a deal with the Department of Justice to purchase Full Tilt Poker and pay off the balances for all of their players since Full Tilt didn't have the funds to do so on their own.

Payments are a big part of what makes an online casino or other type of online gambling site reliable, and William Hill has taken a step to make their cash outs even easier with their new priority access card. The way this pre-paid Mastercard works is that it links directly to a player's account to provide immediate access to funds through the card. Players can use this card normally like they would any other pre-paid credit card to have the funds deducted from their William Hill balance.
